1 large beet (peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes)

1/2 cup toasted nuts (walnuts, hazelnuts or almonds)

1/4 cup pomegranate molasses (can also use honey, maple syrup or molasses)

1 lemon (zest + juice)

2 cloves garlic

1/3 cup olive oil

salt to taste

Place all ingredients in a food processor or blender and blend to desired consistency. Because this recipe depends largely on the flavor profile of the beet you choose feel free to increase or decrease pomegranate molasses, lemon and olive oil quantities accordingly. Pair your beet muhammara with smoked trout and radishes or other vegetables of your choosing.
